What exhaust repairs do we carry out?
We replace individual exhaust sections (front pipe, middle box, rear silencer), full exhaust systems, manifolds, flexible sections, catalytic converters, and DPFs. We also repair minor blowing joints, replace clamps and hangers, and remove seized bolts and studs.
Why exhausts fail
UK road salt is the primary cause of exhaust corrosion. The exhaust system is constantly exposed to road spray carrying salt in winter. Aluminium-coated steel sections last 4–8 years. Flange joints where sections bolt together are the most vulnerable — the bolts corrode and seize, and the joint itself can crack from thermal cycling.
Symptoms of a failing exhaust
Loud roaring or blowing noise from underneath. Hissing at low revs. Exhaust smell inside the cabin — this is a safety concern requiring immediate investigation. Rattling from underneath from a loose heat shield or disconnected hanger. Black carbon marks on the exhaust body indicate a leak point.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter has become a target for theft — particularly Toyota Prius, Honda Jazz, and hybrid vehicles. If stolen, we source a replacement and fit a cat guard. A failing catalytic converter causes MOT failure on emissions and can produce a rattling noise from broken substrate.
Exhaust manifold and flex joints
Cracked manifolds produce a ticking noise from the engine bay, particularly on cold start. Flexible sections in the front pipe corrode and crack, producing a blowing noise.
